I find no difference bewteen using the copy menu item and using command-c.
Facing unexplained broken behavior, we all tend to generalize from what
we observe on our machines. For me, the other procedure, copying
something in Aqua first, does not work. What I described is what I am
seeing on 3 different machines. But then they all have the same versions
of X11 and of OSX, and they are configured in similar ways. As they say,
YMMV.

That is useful to know. So does anyone know how to copy to the

Using X11.app's Edit->Copy menu usually works for me. What doesn't
work is the keyboard shortcut cmd-C that is supposed to be equivalent
to this menu entry.
But this may be related to a more general bug in keyboard shortcuts
for menus on OSX: For me, user-defined keyboard shortcuts only work
when the corresponding menu has been opened at least once. And this
works also in X11.app: Click on the Edit menu title so that the menu
drops down. Then hit cmd-C and it works. After this, cmd-C works until
you shift the focus to some other application (which, unfortunately,
is likely to happen if you copy things into some non-X11 window). So
in a sense cmd-C in X11.app works (or rather doesn't work) like a
user-defined keyboard shortcut in other applications.
